Oliver Jackson-Cohen gets first lead in Hollywood movie

He’s too handsome to be invisible.

I want to see him .

Would you like my old closet, OJC?

Is that a lazy eye or no?

His angry alkie schtick won't get in the way?

If he's playing the Inivisible Man, his work will mainly be voiceover, no?

*Invisible

Looks like the epitome of the good Jewish boy, who is really a dirty, dirty man. Lets hope!

"The film follows Cecilia, who receives the news of her abusive ex-boyfriend's suicide. She begins to re-build her life for the better. However, her sense of reality is put into question when she begins to suspect her deceased lover is not actually dead."

I don't recall this being the plot of H.G. Wells' novel....

Wow, he's a handsome sexy guy.

So it's Elizabeth Moss' movie then?

That eye is so lazy, it could collect unemployment

Didn't this already happen in 2000 with Hollow Man?

I'm sorry, but that HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE remake series was melodramatic therapy garbage.

Wish there was a way to get the originals seen more rather than a remake. It would be good for our film culture and our sense of history. Oh well.

Well, they fucked The Mummy up, the one with Cruise, so I’m not holding out hope for this.

A nude scene could redeem yet though.

FUCK ME, DADDY

His publicists are milking this for all it's worth, but I'm told in reality it's quite a small part with very little screen time, and yes, mostly voiceover. Elisabeth is the lead character.

This is not part of the same reboot universe of the 2017 Mummy bomb. Blumhouse is currently working behind the scenes to get control over some of those old Universal Monsters properties and is hoping to revitalize them into a big shared universe franchise, and the production house is already talking sequels for this one. The Avengers of horror, if you will.

Fat chance he'll come out now.

I'll stick with the Claude Raines version thanks.

For R19:

Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still But he told us where we stand And Flash Gordon was there In silver underwear Claude Rains was The Invisible Man

Oliver Jackson-Cohen. What kind of person has such a stupid name like that

If you're going to make this invisible, then there is already a problem with your film.

R21 Well when two parents love each other and make a baby, but neither wants to cede their last name they create a new one for baby with a hyphen. I just wish that there were strict rules about this and they were always alphabetical.

Oliver is a better looking Jake gyllenhaal

[quote]Blumhouse is currently working behind the scenes to get control over some of those old Universal Monsters properties and is hoping to revitalize them into a big shared universe franchise, and the production house is already talking sequels for this one.

The Mummy was also supposed to kick off a new era of monster movies featuring Universal's fabled lineup. Johnny Depp was announced for the Invisible Man, Javier Barden was cast as Frankenstein's Monster and Angelina Jolie was courted for the Bride of Frankenstein.

I'd like to see a good monster universe established, but I'm skeptical that an Elisabeth Moss-led Invisible Man is going to make the kind of money that will justify further investment.

I feel the exact same way, but then I was really skeptical about the new Halloween franchise and this production team did really well with that. I'm also skeptical about a movie called The Invisible Man that's actually not really about The Invisible Man. But who knows, maybe they can pull it off.

He's the new Armie Hammer:

Despite having a couple of on-screen gay roles, Oliver's sexual orientation is straight. Anyway, he has never denied the gay rumors though. It is, however, a fact that he is engaged to his Dracula co-star Jessica De Gouw.

Wait! I thought someone said here he was gay. Didn't we have a thread we he had come out? I swear I am not high.

He hasn't come out but he isn't engaged to Jessica De Gouw, at least not anymore. It's public knowledge to anyone that reads his interviews that he moved out of her apartment in London last year, and she's moved back to Australia. They're still friends.

He is so beautiful. Love the fuzzy chest too. I'd love to see his furry ass.

r28 Yes, he's a closet case and a mean drunk.

He’s not handsome. His eyes are so close together he looks like a cyclops. Hate him.

He's a drunk but I haven't heard he's a mean drunk. On the contrary, I've heard he's a fun obnoxious loud drunk. There is actually a fair amount of YouTube videos of him drunk and at parties or leaving clubs . Per his own account, he has heavy mental health issues, so it's no surprise he heavily self medicates.

If he is not gay, then he can fucking head back to Britain. The last thing we need is more white straight men.

The gay ones are welcome of course.

My one wish for this film is that the movie's PR doesn't try to make him fake date Elisabeth.

[quote] Per his own account, he has heavy mental health issues

He talked about being sexually abused as a child on his Instagram account. The post was in support of MeToo.

[quote] ‪#MeToo. As a child. Repeatedly. And have spent most of my life living with PTSD, pretending it didn't happen, and now, trying to rebuild what was shattered. ‪The thing about sexual abuse is that the moment it is done, however brief or however long, it changes the course of your life permanently. ‬‪You are changed; not through choice. I stand with all the brave 🖤 ‬

r32 saving up for his first seeing eye dog.

R36 Maybe that is why he's so messed up about his own sexuality.

He was a hot addict on the Hill House show. Never seen him in anything else. Odd choice

r33, how can one find these videos?

He's 6'3" and has huge hands. It's safe to say that he's hung like a horse.

^ agree. I will get ff'd for this but it's nice to see an actor who is a throwback to the old, masculine handsome look. Hairy chest. Tall. Masculine looks. Handsome. In the "olden days" they would have called him a man's man.

DL gave his ass a D-.

R36 he talks about having severe PTSD in the Flaunt interview he just posted about on IG too. It's my understanding the abuse went on for a while and started very young. Hard to not have a few issues after that.

Oliver only looks like a man's man.l -- his IG is full of him calling himself a lady or a princess, shirtless photos and teenybopper reactions to things, and going by his likes, he's obsessed with Disney, fashion designers, male models and Ariana Grande.

Interview in Flaunt. He is hoping for an Emmy nom for Hill House.

R45 I noticed that as well. He's obsessed with Ariana. Maybe he isn't as closeted as I thought, lol. Maybe he'll surprise us all and come out this year (not the fact that he's gay, just the coming out part).

Another recent interview with Bello

He’s quite thirsty at the moment

He has something Justin Theroux about him.

[quote] he's obsessed with Disney, fashion designers, male models and Ariana Grande.

He used to be one of the top male models in the world, so of course he knows fashion designers and other male models.

He's straight, but loves the attention of men, just like Armie Hammer and Timothy Chalamet.

He's in the running to become the next James Bond. In fact, he's top 3 from what I've heard.

In "Hill House" he played a drug addict who kept getting beat up on the streets. As the episodes progressed, he looked worse and worse. But it was kind of a joke because.....

...beneath all that addict makeup we all knew he looked like this.

One of the top male models in the world?!

I'm so sorry r50 but no straight man would listen to Ariana. Hell, I don't even think tops would.

Is he a top or a bottom? Asking for a friend.

Whare are some of these Ariana posts? I took a quick look on his IG, but none leaped out.

He was insanely hot in Faster from 2010.

Someone keeps posting that shit at r58. Don't click it. It's been claimed as a virus.

R56 Not posts, likes. He likes Ariana posts every day. Just follow him and you'll see.

Maybe he'll start dating Ariana.

R61 lol

R56 they're not his posts. He likes and fanboy-comments on many of hers. If you follow him and look through Ariana's IG feed, you'll see he's liked and commented at least 3 dozen times. It's a lot.

And he's never done more than dabble in modeling.

LOL! She's been well aware he's obsessed with her - she had an IG story about his character on Hill House and tagged and followed him back in October, and he reposted it on his own having a total fanboy meltdown over the notice. Their interactions were funny, but not remotely flirty.

Damn, he's hotter than the sun.

What are some of the comments he's left about Grande? Just heart emojis?

Re Oliver/Ariana, I'd rather a closeted Brit actor date a pop princess than a pop princess' castoffs.

He's a black-belt.

The most beautiful man alive.

He and quarterback Aaron Rodgers could be brothers.

Any pics of OJC kissing his lady loves?

He's no Hart Bochner (back in the day).

He's easily the sexiest and most charismatic actor around today. They'd be crazy not to pick him as the next James Bond.

He wasn't all that charismatic in "Man In An Orange Shirt". The guy who played his lover was better.

To be fair, he was playing a repressed stiff shirt in that. He was plenty charismatic and likable on Emerald City and Haunting.

scientologist and wonky-eyed Jew make a movie. No thanks!

Jewish?! I like him even better.

r77 yep, he's mutilated. enjoy fantasizing about that neapolitan dick

Handsome, two different people's eyes notwithstanding!

[quote] Handsome, two different people's eyes notwithstanding!

That should be his IG bio. Make it so, Senora Cohen!

He's in Sydney now - guess he was really a last minute casting since they start shooting today. He also got tagged hanging out with Jessica De Gouw and her friends. She's in town filming something at the moment as well. The weird Jessica De Gouw fangirl troll must be having multiple orgasms as we speak.

Some of his insta posts are liked by......DL fave Julian Morris!!!!

How is Gouw pronounced? Goo? Gow? Go?

In one of the recent interviews, he makes a point of saying he doesn't have a problem with substance abuse. If he's lying about that, is he also lying about his mental health diagnosis? PTSD has little/no stigma.

In other interviews about Hill House, he's often been quick to clarify that he doesn't have an opioid problem/ has never done heroin. I think that's what he means by "substance abuse problem" as a disclaimer, since he has also been saying all along that there's a lot of himself in the character. But he's posted a lot on IG about being drunk or hungover, and stories about him being a heavy drinker are pretty widespread, so if he meant he doesn't have any kind of substance abuse issues, he's lying or in denial. But I'm betting he just meant he's not a drug addict.

And there's a fuck ton of stigma associated with having PTSD from sexual assault, especially if you're a man.

R83 it's pronounced "Gow".

[quote] And there's a fuck ton of stigma associated with having PTSD from sexual assault, especially if you're a man.

Are you talking about people who write mean things on the internet or...?

And hasn't Cohen said that his sexual assault occured in childhood?

If he marries Andy Cohen their last name could be the Cohen-Jackson-Cohens.

r99

Back to the drawing board, dear.

I can't wait to see what r99 writes....

[quote]That eye is so lazy, it could collect unemployment

We can guess what his next reconfigured remake will be - an Airport movie

Isn't de rigueur for swarthy British actors to be heavy drinkers? It just adds to their image, really. It makes them sexier.

He's a heavy smoker, too.

Pole or tobacco?

He’ll also be returning for The Haunting of Bly Manor, the adaptation of the Turn of the Screw

Interesting since the source material is a thinly veiled allegory of childhood sexual abuse

Well, they'll probably shave/wax/laser every square inch of his body.

What a handsome lad!

When will you queens EVER learn that 99% of the men DL obsess over are straight? In fact, it's damn near a qualification.

I love his trashy cunt sister who was fucking brilliant in Misfits, and then got caught up in a racist taxi ride covered by the Daily Fail and destroyed her career

Glad to see she did recently get work in Catastrophe, as the shit babysitter. She is cool

He could fuck me all night, loved him in Emerald City.

Lauren Socha is not his sister, you stupid cunt.

R96 Including his hole?

The movie is an Elisabeth Moss vehicle. He will be visible in it for about 10 minutes and at the end when she kills him.

Will he ever come out?

[quote]Interesting since the source material is a thinly veiled allegory of childhood sexual abuse Not so thinly veiled. Victorian audiences would have understood the little boy in the story was being sexually abused by the valet whose ghost haunts them in the story. Oliver is playing the valet character, but there's no telling how closely the show will match the source material. Haunting of Hill House had very little in common with the Shirley Jackson book.

No Emmy nomination for Oliver or anything else related to Haunting of Hill House.

Oh, quote tag fail. Sorry!

"When will you queens EVER learn that 99% of the men DL obsess over are straight? In fact, it's damn near a qualification."

You must have missed all the threads about Matt Bomer, Julian Morris, Luke Evans, etc.

I'm not going to be ignored, DL!

Julian Morris keeps liking his posts.....have those two hooked up?

Julian desperately wants this.

If those two dated, some part of the space-time continuum would rupture during their first fuck.

They were both in "Man in an Orange Shirt," but in two different segments, so they had no scenes together.

[quote] They were both in "Man in an Orange Shirt," but in two different segments, so they had no scenes together.

That's not technically true. IMDB lists OJC with an uncredited role in episode 2 which starred Julian Morris. I believe OJC appears near the end of that episode when Vanessa Redgrave is comforting her grandson (Julian). There are a few quick cuts in that scene where she is shown also comforting her young husband (OJC). It rapidly cuts back and forth between her holding each of the men, and I think you miss it if you blink.

It wouldn't surprise me if Julian and his good friend Landon are no strangers to three-in-a-bed romps.

I want to kiss him, I want to rub my hands all over his stubbley face, I want....I want so many things.

r113

If he's a boozehound, you may get your wish. Have you ever been to the Chiltern Firehouse?

Jeez, his feet really are fucking huge.

feet

To those of you who've been sexually abused, does it affect new relationships (from expressing affection physically to full on sex)?

He needs to fuck me RIGHT NOW!

Terrible photo of him at OP. Ew.

Here's a video where OJC talks about The Haunting of Bly Manor.

Jackson-Cohen with Victoria Pedretti, the two announced cast members of Bly Manor.

Will Oliver and Vic get hot 'n' heavy for the duration of the project (filming and promotion)?

Is Jackson-Cohen the new Madden? Is there an American twink in his future as he tries to break into Hollywood? Is Nolan Gould available for their partnership? Does he have an ugly, but cute dog? Who will design their coordinating necklaces?

Oliver's a wee bit better preserved than the haggis hoarder.

^^^ What are those cool looking tube things? I didn't get one of those when I graduated!

It holds the scroll.

[quote]Will Oliver and Vic get hot 'n' heavy for the duration of the project (filming and promotion)?

Her black girlfriend might find that offensive.

R126 Scrolls? I didn't get a scroll! I was robbed and I don't think it was real sheepskin either!

I can't wait for Bly Manor.

Oliver is not the lead of this movie, but it sounds like he is the lead in "Bly Manor," the second season of Haunting of Hill House. Mike Flanagan told an interviewer last week that this next season is "hanging its hat" on him and Victoria Pedretti. Henry Thomas and Carla Gugino were the leads of the last season, so that seems like a bump up. I also don't think his role in this film is that small. Per Instagram, he's been filming and on set the entire time it's been in production.

In other news, he's followed Lizzo on social media everywhere. If there was anything gayer than stanning Ariana Grande...

When does Bly Manor start shooting?

R131 I read on Reddit that it's starting filming next month. It won't be out until at least summer 2020.

The trailer is here!

Is he gay?

I really think he's bi R134.

That trailer is a little too long but it looks decent. Told y'all this was an Elisabeth Moss starring vehicle and that Oliver is barely in it though. I don't even think his name is on the poster.

A nice interview from another thread where he talks about the abusive msnipulative narcissism of his character in this film. He mentions a few times that men and women can be both victims and victimizers and seems to have given it a lot of thought. It's a shame no one has any gossip about him ever and he hasn't been linked to anyone romantically in over a year. He does seem reasonably intelligent though.

He's cute and he seems like a nice guy. His performance in Hill House was heartbreaking. I really hope this movie open doors for him but he seems like a shy and timid guy, and actors like those don't usually get the coverage or roles they deserve.

He seems chatty enough in interviews, but also kind of introspective. Not really the same as timid but maybe he is. I've actually heard rumors he has another project lined up soon, and seen a few people speculate he might star in Mike Flanagan's next Netflix vehicle, Midnight Mass, but that could be just because Flanagan uses the same stable of actors over and over.

I'm thinking that maybe he pings a little bit, but maybe it's just wishful thinking. But he's continually trying to shoot his shot with Ariana Grande.

He might be fucked up, but he isn't fucked up enough for Ariana Grande to want a piece of him. She only fucks dudes that are one bad day away from the loony bin.

He is still obsessed with liking a lot of Ariana posts and still leaves her emoji heart comments but it's been a year and a half of the same thing. It doesn't look like he's trying to get anywhere with her at all, just a fanboy like he is with Years and Years, Lizzo, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Adele, all of whom he also follows and fanboys. That bunch does not a heterosexual man's playlist make. And R140 is right, he's not fucked up enough for Ariana to fuck.

Elisabeth Moss has to be the frontrunner for the Best Actress Oscar next year for The Invisible Man. The movie looks amazing!
